UPGRADE ISSUES ID'D

We're going to have a software upgrade in the next week or two. The process is that I request an upgrade, and then I'm told when it's over. It could be a few hours or a twenty minutes from my request, depending on the work load of the production support teams.

As always, any posts that are made from the time the upgrade starts until it is over could be lost. I'll post to this thread as soon as I make the request, so that you'll have fair warning.

Many thanks to innopac for noticing that the Poster Name column in the "View New Content" results is displaying as the string "Array" instead of the poster name. I just filed a support ticket (and I hope it's not something one of the old mods I did broke).

This one is very important -- the quote function is not working properly.

There's a new feature in which when you are in "BBCode Mode" -- i.e., you can see and use all of the controls, like the "Bold" button -- if you quote, in the new post, the quote box appears formatted. This allows you to edit without accidentally deleting the "

]" and "

' formatting, which is great.

The problem is, when you save, the only thing that's saved is this:

or

and the text in the quote box appears below outside the quote box, as if it's part of the new post.

The only thing we can do until this is resolved is to put a divider between what is being quoted and the response:

This is the post quote, this is the post quote, this is the post quote

This is the post quote, this is the post quote, this is the post quote

Both of these issues are my fault: they are from changes I made in versions prior to the upgrade. The original templates are going to be restored, and things might look a little different for a while after they are.

I know it still looks off: I've been focusing on some of the less immediately visible stuff. It should look better by later on Friday. I need to call it a night now, so that I don't start making sloppy mistakes.
